    Man, thanks Jimbar, I knew it was coming up but it snuck up on me. I'm gonna try and make it up there. I have some powder thats been sitting on a desk at Kesselrings for a couple months. I need to get by there and pick it up, might as well keep heading north and check out Daves.
    Not sure I can get in the truck thing but I can look at whatever I can see.

      >>I think I'm gonna put an SR1911 at the top of my Christmas list.<<

      I put it at the top of my "right now" list and put my order in last week.

        And it arrived today, and is in my possession. Very nice quality, especially for the money!

            I'll be honest - I desperately want to be back into the 1911 game.

            This will have to wait till after the sgl31 is in my safe...but I think I have narrowed down the options to one, and only one. The S&W 1911 E series. Yes, the extractor is external, but it is the only one that has been proven to work continually so far. I'll just have to peen the pin that holds it in place to keep it from dropping down out of the slide and binding into the frame.

            The black finish is actually melonite, a heat treatment of the steel that makes it very rust resistant and extremely wear resistant. I'll probably be getting SKU 108409. 20 lpi on the front strap, and my past experiences with the S&W series of 1911's is amazing. The cocking serrations are the same as my M&P series - very easy to work, yet doesn't tear up your hands.

            Pretty good so far if you ask me

              Well, it was just by luck that I got it when I did. My dealer called me yesterday saying that this particular gun was sold by them on 5/8 to another gent. Apparently, he took it home but never fired it.....suddenly needed money, and sold it back to them. So, I got a brandy new gun for $50.00 less than I would have paid, and there's no telling when I would have gotten it.

                Hey! Sometimes you're in the right place at the right time, etc., AND have the funds or credit to jump on a deal... that's great!

                I still remember that "found-the-Golden-Chalis" feeling when I found my LNIB PM9 DLC at the Gun Show... when I wasn't looking for one! It was all goose-bumps and surreal!

                And, Mike, that looks like a real winner for a shooter/"battle gun"!

                  It should hold up better than my old Para did - and it did pretty well (except for the finish and a few MIM parts).

                  Till then though, my M&P's are doing the job just fine and dandy.

                    I finally got some range time with a SR1911 over Memorial weekend. In general it was quite a bit nicer than I thought it would be. I thought I might pick one up later on, but after shooting on I have one on order.

                    Once I get it will be off for some work. Hopefully I'll get to shoot it before X Mas.
